Emphasis on the some, as I know all too well the old tale of no one not enjoying [subject] more than fans of [subject]. Also to be really clear, this isn’t intended as a dig at those that don’t become jaded, so much as genuine curiosity.

I’ve had the misfortune of really enjoying some genre stories only to find it harder to maintain interest in others I come across due to overfamiliarity making what might otherwise be interesting twists or turns feel a little…Predictable. It’s a bummer that even taking breaks from some genres doesn’t seem to assuage.

    Genre fiction is not automatically predictable, and even if you see the twist coming, it can still be realized in a surprising way.

    I’m guessing it’s just sturgeon’s law at work. The fact that you enjoy genre X does not mean you are required to read/watch all the crud in genre X.
